thinkfulincThink about it this way: If you focus on the money, you risk overlooking the people. If you overlook the people, you take the heart and purpose out of your brand. Instead, create a culture that focuses on doing the right thing, both by employees and by customers. Adapting that philosophy into your own business principles will result in loyal customers, dedicated employees and a brand that truly makes a difference from the inside out. Take time to think about where your focus lies, and strongly consider shifting yours if you've veered off course. We promise that it will make all the difference in the long-term success and sustainability of your company.

Nice!! - As black people, we are constantly told our beauty isn't light enough, our businesses aren't worth investing in, our community will never be united and that our heritage celebration is racial segregation. Follow us to help change this! #ProudToBeBlack9h

republicofchangePaul Stamets patents a universal biopesticide that's being hailed as the most disruptive technology in agriculture.
Pesticides are making us unhealthy faster than we can study their effects on human health. They play a large role in massive bee deaths and the decline of soil health. Monsanto and the other companies that manufacture these pesticides have zero incentive to stop.
The mushroom-derrived biopesticides patented by Paul Stamets provide a permanent, organic solution for over 200,000 species of insects and it all comes from a mushroom.
Rather than kill pests, the fungi simply steers insects in a different direction. Think of it as casting an invisible shield that cannot be penetrated by pests. This biopesticide also eliminates the need for round-up ready GMO seeds and BT seeds that grow the pesticides in the crop needlessly endangering human health. Perhaps the most enticing element of this biopesticide fungi is that it’s essentially free.
According to the patent, it can be “cultivated on agricultural waste.” We are looking at a 100% safe, natural technology that literally can end all GMO and pesticide manufacturers overnight with a new class of SMART Pesticides.
